Fair Showcases Canola Oil-Fried Treat

The 2014 Canadian National Exposition in Toronto launches today with a menu of attention-grabbing dishes, including a chocoholic’s take on fried chicken made with canola oil. According to The Toronto Star, “Coco’s Fried Chicken is rubbed in dark chocolate, brined in cocoa-laced buttermilk for 24 hours, rolled in flour mixed with cocoa and secret spices, fried in canola oil and seasoned with chocolate.” Last year’s fair attracted more than 1.3 million visitors for the chance to try similar novelty foods such as deep-fried mac-and-cheese balls.
